I live in PDX (for all of three more days).  The Blazers were so happy to 
get rid of Kenny, they paid part of his salary.  They are not interested 
in getting him back.  In fact, doing so would probably result in 
Puddletown's population of Blazerfans actually rising up, grabbing some 
pitchforks and torches and finally running Trader Bob out of town (oh, 
wait, he's already "out of town" since he GM's an entire franchise while 
three hours away).  I doubt the C's could even trade KA for Shawn Kemp -- 
Dale Davis is probably way out of reach.

Kenny might have some trade value because of his contract ending and (to a 
lesser extent) his performance (yeah, I know, but the Wizards got rid of 
Juwan Howard, Mitch Richmond, *and* Rod Strickland, and all three were 
considered impossible to move), but he's got about as much chance of 
moving to Toronto as back to Portland.

Re-sign Rodney Rogers.
